Knocked 32 games off the missing games list, added 13 more new entries and corrected a pair. Yeah, it’s been a busy time.
Most of what’s been updated lately is games from small southeast corner schools, mostly Guernsey and Sunrise. I’ve come across old microfilm of the Guernsey Gazette and have been using that to fill in a bunch of missing information. I’d say somewhere close to one-half of the games on the missing games list from the 1950s are (or at least were) games involving small southeast corner schools.
I also chipped away at the Byes Project and found a few new games that way, as well.
Anyway, here’s the list of stuff that’s updated:
Took the following games off the missing games list:
Found the location for three Sunrise games in 1962: the Sept. 14 game with Guernsey (Guernsey); the Sept. 21 game with Chadron, Neb., Assumption (Sunrise); and the Oct. 3 game with Huntley (Huntley)
